There is an advantage with home games now an advantage does not mean you are going to win the game. It mean just what it says an advantage. A cauldron like atmosphere having 50,000 plus of your own fans cheering you on it can and does lift your team - I have lost count hearing great footballers and the like say when two very close teams are playing and they finding it hard to pick a winner they will often say I'm going with the home team. At the end of it all if you can't see that then you can't - I'm not going to try and convince you. if you think other wise so be it.
I just find it ironic the AFL sees fit to be fair with all finals games giving the team that finishes higher on the ladder home game finals because of incentive, fairness etc but then fail to do so on the most important game which is the grand-final.
Didn't cry at all when the tigers beat the crows go check out the posts. if anything I congratulated the tigers and said they were the better team.
